Yes, the splitting of 3&6 causes acres of trouble. But what does a good PCB do if the jack causes the test to fail. I don’t recall which test it is, but most jacks fail it. Might be a crosstalk.

Ahh, I quickly glanced online and somehow misread the gige as cat6. Which is why I was confused. I've been neck deep in the 10 gig E spec for midspan injection off and on for the last couple of months. Not a fun read or design. Considering going to 6 or 8 layers so I can meet some of the specifications. (Three ground planes with each pair being ran as a buried stripline). And don't even get me started about how I feel the 568A/B pair arrangement has outlived its usefulness. I'd like to see us move to an arrangement where the pairs actually pass through the jack as pairs.

Which of the MTC CAT6 surge suppressors that fit in the APC racks are recommended for general use? I see a Gas discharge and semiconductor diode version on the website. Guessing the GDT version is more robust and less likely to cause errors at the expense of reaction time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
